That’s Hot. (Shut up, Paris.)

September 30, 2008

Due to “popular demand” and perhaps a liberal dose of “common sense”, Mythic has implemented cross-zone scenario queuing. This is one of those things that you can’t quite understand why it wasn’t in the game at release, other than they had a billion other things to do, or perhaps they were trying to reinforce the notion of you fighting and dying for a particular army.

Whatever the reason, the end result were stymied players who had to go out of their way to queue up for other tier scenarios, either by traveling there in person or hooking up with friends/guildies who were already questing in that zone. Nobody liked it, but it wasn’t the biggest deal in the world, so we coped.

Well cope no longer, my friends! Now that we can queue up any or all of our tier’s scenarios, the potential for better populated scenarios is better, and we don’t have to worry about playing a hated scenario just because of where we’re questing. It’s one of those things that show that Mythic is listening and responding.

You’ve got to give it to Mythic. The game hasn’t been out 3 weeks and they been hotpatch the crap out of this game. Not only to fix bugs and issues but to also make our time in game a little less annoying.

This is another great sign of things to come, imo….
Can’t wait to get home and check it out.

This is a great change, I love it. But I can’t help wondering why they chose to tie what scenarios you can queue for so closely to the zone you are in. Why not tie that to your level? If you are 1-11 you queue for Tier 1, 12 – whatever you queue for Tier 2, etc…

This makes sense to me, because right now you can’t queue if you are hanging out in your capitol city becasue there aren’t any scenarios in that zone. If they used a level based system then you could queue while in town.
